Plot: When the kingdom of Britannia is taken over by the Holy Knights who were supposed to protect it, Princess Elizabeth seeks the aid of the Seven Deadly Sins -- evil knights who were said to have tried to overthrow the kingdom in the past and were supposedly eliminated... (A)

Objectionable Content: Blood, sexual innuendo/fan service, profanity

Other: Based on a manga of the same name. I'd heard good things about it and was curious to give it a try.

The anime is fun and has a good story and good characters, but it can go a bit far with the blood and fan service at times.

Plot: Nonoka returns to her home town after years in the big city. When she arrives, there is a saucer in the sky. For some, the saucer is a nuisance, and others have quietly accepted it. Nonoka doesn't remember much about the town, but when she meets a girl named Noel, she slowly remembers that she is the one who suggested calling the saucer... (B-)

Objectionable Content: Mild

Other: This is a painfully slow-paced series. (Coming from someone who has great patience with slow series, that's saying something.) I want to get into the story, but it's so slow about answering its questions that it's hard to get invested.

Plot: Five friends in the literature club suddenly develop superpowers. Six months pass, and they have yet to use their powers to save the world. Instead, they go about their normal day-to-day school lives usually using their powers for gags. (Nothing special here in the way of overall plot. B-)

Plot: A gate to a different world appeared in Mikado city. In order to combat the "Neighbors" who poured through and attacked, an organization called Border was established that uses special technology against the invaders. Osamu Mikumo is an agent-in-training of the Border defense agency. When he tries to protect his classmates from an attacking Neighbor, a transfer student named Yuma Kuga jumps in and saves him and reveals that he himself is a neighbor... (B+)

Art & Animation: Animation can be surprisingly lazy (especially apparent in the first episode's opening exposition), and background art can be sloppy at times as well -- C+

Voice Acting: A

Music: B

Objectionable Content: profanity, mild blood

Other: There is also a manga. The adaptation follows pretty closely thus far.

Plot: In a world where "magic" is now quantified and used by means of technology, the magicians' powers are honed in special schools. Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba have just enrolled in Private Magic University Affiliated High School. Miyuki is grouped with the elite in Course 1, while Tatsuya, due to his low test scores, is placed in Course 2 and treated as inferior. But he has a few secrets tucked away that will impact not only the school, but maybe even the country... (An interesting premise, but segments of the story drag while important questions remain unanswered. -- B-)

Objectionable Content: Blood, innuendo/fan service, profanity

Other: I personally wasn't very attached to the cast, and as the series goes on, it gets surprisingly bloody.

Like many other anime recently, this one is adapted from a light novel. I've never read the light novel or manga versions.
